J. M. Gitchell has just completed
Hurley's school census, and finds there

There is vacant column on the
Herald mail book in which to give
many of its subscribers credit for the
cash which it is expected will flow in
during the next few weeks.
1t has been quite cool during the
past week, thereby enabling the aver
age citizen to reduce his stock of hard

much storage room during the heated
term.
Late reports are to the effect that the
Duluth & Denver road will be COM

Recently the older insurance compa-
nies have gone in pooling arrange
ment, raised their rates, already high
| enough, and informed their agents
here, that, unless they sign an agree
ment not to work in future for compa-
nies thai give over 10 per cent commits
sions, they will call in their licenses
and revoke their agencies. The object
is to cripple smaller companies. Uur-
ley agents refuse to be parties to that
kind of business.

following Dakota law in regard to

Dakota Farmer: A farmer in Wal
worth county, with a hand planter
plants corn in the sod while breaking
four or five inches from the edge of the
last furrow, a little shallower than his
breaking. His rows are three furrows
apart. BY this method the hill is
turned bottom side up, and the cum
ing stripped gopher is outwitted. A
good stand is assured, and the corr
makes a rapid and vigorous growth
The crop last year, notwithstanding
the excessive drought, was very good
which he attributes to his method o1
planting.
Capt. Van Etten's lecture on the latt
war was not as well attended as il
should have been. For two hours ant
twenty minutes the captain held hi.
| audience as they followed him in imag

: tions of the scenes there enacted
Many eyes were moist as he gave al
account of the " first battle,"-of tn,
enlistment and the departure for tn
front, leaving behind relatives ant
friends. perhaps never to see then
again. No lover of his country shoult
. fail to hear this lecture when oppor
tunity offers.
Much interest has been manifesto
